Public transport

We are a 10 minute walk (4 minute bike ride) from Lime Street Station. The fastest way there, if you’re running for a train, is to head down the left-hand side of London Road, past the school uniform shop and Boots chemist, then when you reach Lazeez Kurdish Charcoal Grill, turn left onto Hotham Street – this will bring you to the side entrance (Lord Nelson Street entrance) of Lime Street Station, opposite Ma Egerton’s pub.

We are a 5 minute walk from the Greek Street / Pembroke Place / Monument Place bus stops (opposite the London Road Tesco and Post Office) which lead to destinations including: Queen Square and Liverpool ONE interchanges, Dale Street, Norris Green, St Helens, and Huyton.

Car parking

Car parking on the street is free after 6pm, but expensive and limited to 2 hours during the day (even at weekends). The going day rate for private carparks is £3.50 a day.
